Defect
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2011-2017 Honda Odyssey vehicles. The second row outboard seats can slide sideways to one of two positions. If a seat is placed between either of the two positions when attaching the seat to the vehicle floor, the seat will not latch properly to the seat striker, allowing the seat to tip forward unexpectedly during braking.
Consequence
If the seat tips forward during braking, it can increase the risk of injury.
Corrective Action
The remedy for this recall is still under development. Honda will notify owners of the safety risk in an interim notification and provide detailed instructions for installing/positioning the second row outer seats and confirming that they are securely latched. Once a final remedy is determined and the necessary parts are available, Honda will send a second letter to the owners to have them visit a dealer to have the condition remedied, free of charge. The interim notification is expected to begin December 18, 2017. Owners may contact American Honda Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is S0G.
NHTSA campaign 16V933000 · 633,753 vehicles affected
Defect
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain model year 2011-2016 Odyssey vehicles manufactured August 17, 2010, to October 1, 2015. The affected vehicles have second row outboard seats that have a release lever that allows the seats to move for easier access to the third row of seats. This release lever may remain in the unlocked position allowing the seats to move unexpectedly.
Consequence
An unlocked second row outboard seat increases the risk of injury to the seat occupant during a crash.
Corrective Action
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will install an additional bracket and spring to both second row outboard seats, free of charge. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is KD5.
NHTSA campaign 13V382000 · 270 vehicles affected
Defect
Honda is recalling certain model year 2013 Pilot 2WD and 4WD vehicles and certain model year 2013 Odyssey vehicles. During manufacturing of the engine piston, it is possible that the heat treatment process was not properly applied, resulting in the piston having an insufficient hardness level, making it more susceptible to premature wear.
Consequence
A worn piston may suddenly fail, causing the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the engine short block free of charge. The recall is expected to begin September 16, 2013. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009. Honda's recall numbers are JB4 (Honda Odyssey) and JB5 (Honda Pilot).
NHTSA campaign 13V143000 · 204,169 vehicles affected
Defect
Honda is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 CR-V, Odyssey, and model year 2013 Acura RDX vehicles. During sub-freezing temperatures, the brake-shift interlock blocking mechanism may become slow and allow the gear selector to be moved from the Park position without pressing the brake pedal. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 114, Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention.
Consequence
If the gear selector is moved from the park position without pressing the brake pedal it can allow the vehicle to roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Honda will notify owners and instruct them to take their vehicle to a Honda or Acura dealer. The dealer will install an updated brake shift interlock blocking mechanism free of charge. The recall is expected to begin May 13, 2013. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009. Honda's campaign recall numbers are S96, S97, and S98.

Defect
Honda is recalling certain model year 2009-2013 Pilot and 2011-2013 Odyssey passenger vehicles manufactured from March 13, 2008, through December 21, 2012. One or more rivets that attach the airbag module to the airbag cover may be missing.
Consequence
The absence of more than one rivet could alter the performance of the driver's airbag during deployment. This could potentially increase the risk of injury during a crash.
Corrective Action

5 common questions answered
The NHTSA-reported rear-seat recalls involve second-row outboard seats that may fail to latch properly, tip forward during braking, or move unexpectedly because a release lever remains unlocked. These conditions can increase the risk of injury, particularly during sudden braking or a crash. The engine recall involves a piston that may wear prematurely and fail, potentially stalling the vehicle. A transmission condition may permit movement from Park in sub-freezing temperatures, creating rollaway risk. Missing air bag module rivets may affect driver air bag deployment. Waiting can leave a safety concern unresolved, so request a VIN check and act promptly if a campaign applies.
